Benjamin Gould / Adafruit Model-M to Bluetooth converter?

[jayeye]

[size=78%]Is Benjamin Gould on this forum? Apparently I cannot search by author name![/size]

[/size][size=78%]Anyway, has anyone here built his [/size]https://learn.adafruit.com/convert-your-model-m-keyboard-to-bluetooth-with-bluefruit-ez-key-hid/overview? I just did (also found an error in the article, already notified Adafruit), and I have some improvements in mind, but if other people have implemented them already I'd rather not reinvent the square wheel. In particular:

• I have a stash of full-size Model Ms (PS/2 layout) with a trackpoint. It would be great to also send mouse events over the BT. The PS/2 mouse protocol is not hard to implement, just tedious.
• A USB connection, rather than a bluetooth connection, would be more useful (at least to me) in most situations, esp. since the LiPo battery I have doesn't last more than a couple of hours, and it seems silly to have the keyboard plugged in to a USB port only to get power, and communicate over bluetooth!
• Again on the subject of USB, a DigiSpark would be the ideal platform -- it has four free input pins (clock+data for keyboard and mouse), unlike the Trinket, which only brings out three of them (both use two more pins for a bit-banged usb implementation).

Again, neither is rocket science, but I believe in code reuse

Yes, I'm familiar with the original project (tmk_keyboard)!

Bluetooth IBM : the first was this I believe.

Running a quick search for "bluetooth ibm" also turns most of this info up. I believe this is the project you are looking for:

This is another one as well using a handheldsci adapter
